The Venturer Scout program emphasizes having fun while encouraging teens to feel good about themselves, their friends and family, God, and the environment. Venturer Scoutshelps young men and women to advance their leadership skills and gain self-confidence. Venturer Scouts promotes activities that encourage teens to:

  • show that they care and live according to their personal values and religious beliefs
  • develop and use the skills of communicating, solving problems and making decisions
  • explore vocational opportunities
  • participate in a variety of social, cultural and spiritual activities
  • work cooperatively in adult-like settings
  • participate in challenging physical and outdoor activities
  • become aware of and respond to needs of the community and the environment

The Venturer Scout program is built around a lively variety of activities based on personal and group interests. Venturing emphasizes outdoor and environmental activities, citizenship and community service, leadership, personal development and career exploration. Individual interests and skills are recognized through an awards system.

The outdoors is an essential part of the Venturer Scout program. Weekend events, extended hikes, no trace camping and seasonal sports opportunities round out the Scout experience. Developing an active, healthy lifestyle is the prime goal.

Venturer Scouts meet in a group called a Company. They develop and manage their own program with the help of adult advisors.

Venturer Scouts meet on Monday from 7:00 until 9:00 at Bolton Rotary Youth Center.
